Key Date Coin Roll Hunting Find - With Pics

I apologize for the duplicate post, but I wanted to share....

Hey all, I had a great find today.

I got my parents into CRHing, and we were having a blast today. All in all we were able to get:

35 40% JFKs and 4 90% (2 JFK, 1 bennie and a WLH)

The kicker of the whole thing is that my mom was making her way through a roll, and she said, "Oh, a really old one." This was the WLH. So then I asked what date, and she said, "1921."

I stopped, could she really be telling me that she found a key-date WLH in a roll......

So, then I ask what the mint mark is? She turns it over (and in my head I want her to say D) and she says, "Oh, it is an S. Those are supposed to be the proofs right." (She is too cute trying to learn about coins)

So I look it up in my trusty Red Book - 50 bucks in G4.

I tell you, it is not much to look at but it is a 1921-S. The Red Book says G4 = rims defined and motto legible. I would say this coin is BARELY making it there, probably AG3 or G4 on a good day.

However, it doesn't really matter because it only cost me 50 cents and it is giong to fill the hold in my Dansco.




Happy hunting!!
